HUGH McELItATH, ") Standing WM.J.IK.ELER, 'J- Commit SEBASTIAN 110 WER, J Ice. July 3Q-;lB3r3. . : DELEGATE MEETING. Remember that this day,. (Saturday, the first day of September,) between the hours) of 3 and 6 o'clock in the alterho.bn, is the time appointed by the Standing Committee of the county, for the meeting of the demo cratic electors of the several election dis tricts at the places of holding their general election, to elect two delegates to attend a County Convention to be held at the house of Daniel Gioss, in Bloomsburg, the Mon day following, to form a county ticket. The place of meeting for Bloom district, is at the house of CHARLES DOEBLER in Bloomsburg. It is hoped that every de mocrat will attend that a.fair expression of the voice ol the county may be had at the general convention. The Intelligencer says, that " the allu sions of the Democrat to our opposition to regular' nominations - was expected,1'. and acknowledges that he lias " rebelled" after the licnet Was formed,, but gives as an ex cuse, that the federalists had interfered in its formation. Va3 this true i u. Did the federalists aid in the nomination oLJ'ohn Rhodes, or did they everupport him? pr rather, was it not a fact, that they did, in conjunction with the editor of the Intelli gencer, oppose him, both before' and afie the nomination, and by the union succeed in defeating him? Was Hugh McWiltoms or John Fruit nominated through the influ ence of federalists, or were they supported by them 1 Every individual in the county knows to the contrary. But there is stil another case. v ho was instrumental in Drocurine the nomination of Dr. Petrikin at tho time he was opposed by the Intelli gencer ? Was it the federalists? Will he acknowledge that the Doctor wa3 as mucl a favorite with the federalists theh,.as he was two years .ago, when two thirds of that par ty in the county, nokonly, interfered',,' in procuring his nomination, b.ul iuataintad him afterwards by their influenca-and votos? If so, where was the editor's pure high minded democracy, that shone so conspic uously during his opposition to the Doctor, at the former election, and which riow shud ders at the bare thought of a candidate hav ing a friend in the federal ranks, when he was advocating h'i3 election to Congress in 1830? Smothered smothered for the 'fccerie was shifted the Doctor could pay well for assistance tho editor's conscience quieted and the sin of receiving federal support pardoned by this High Piiest of Summersets., . He lias always acted upon the ground that he .alone possssses the pow er of determining who ..is; and who is not the candidate of the democratic party who illall and who shall not rciicive the support of tho federalists, and yet. be entitled to be called a democrat : but wo cannot belicvo but that Ids twistings and turnings has lost lnm the confidence ot the democratic party, his vauntings to the contrary notwithstand ing. Nor can we be made to believe that the democracy of Columbia will permit this man to proscribe whom he pleases, or allow him to dictate to them who they shall no nainalo and support hereafter. There is too tnuch stern Integrity in tho democracy of the cqunty for them to be wade subservient to his whim's' and caprices.

On Sunday last an in teresting son of William Bosbyshell, hsq., of Port Carbon, aged about three years, was burned to' death. His parents were at church, and had lpft their son in chargo 'of a nurse, whose' carelessness pemitted him to play with the fire, which communicated to his clothing, and no assistance could be rendered until the 'vital spars 'had left its mangled frame, and ascend lo those' realms where the supreme iovs more than counter balance all the tortures endured' m this world.
